Frequently asked questions
Do you rank or recommend providers?

How do I verify a license?
Use the official state or agency verification tool for the relevant profession. Always verify independently.
How should I compare two quotes?
Compare scope, not slogans. Require an itemized, written scope and an itemized price that shows what is included, excluded, and what triggers add-ons.
Can advertising influence editorial content?

Where can I read your editorial policy?

Do you collect personal information?

What sources should I trust first?
Start with official sources (state licensing boards, agency sites, and primary documentation) and verify any claims independently.
Quick checklist before you book
